is there an age limit of the car at end of lease?

from memory its 7 years? does that affect your plan?

changes in the rules mean you no longer have to do bulk k's

BUT I did it a while back, (not leaseback tho) halfway through my personal situation changed and to get out it cost me $7k in cold hard cash

thb its not worth the hassle, even if it frees up cash to offset your mortgage

thats just my opinion, once bitten and all that
